When equals of water and of methane gas absorb the same amount
of thermal energy change in temperature of the methan a ter than
the change in temperature of the water. which property to explain this
difference?
a-melting point
b-latent heat of vaporization
c-forces between molecules
d-volume

The property helps to explain this difference is forces between molecules.

Option c

Explanation:

The exact heat of water is

The exact heat of methane is

This is due to the polarity and the  hydrogen bonding.

It takes more energy to break these bonds than methane, therefore, we would think water to have a higher specific heat due to these active forces.

So this property helps to explain there is differences in forces between molecules.

an ion is a charged atom or molecule. it is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. an atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.
